So Butler, Bam (and Robinson) now under contract for 4 more years; Herro 5; Lowry 2 more, Martin for 3. Big payroll. And big expectations of continued contention for this group: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…7:55 PM

Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggs
Tyler Herro is guaranteed $120 million from 2023-27 with his new extension.
Michael Porter Jr. is guaranteed the same amount for those years, give or take half a million.
This should be a very interesting year for proving whether those bets make sense for their teams. – 7:05 PM

In the 40-year history of the 6th Man Award, Herro’s scoring average was 4th best all time among winners last season. Now armed with a lucrative extension, he hopes to be a starter this season: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…7:02 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I think the Heat paid Herro more than I would’ve. I’d rather have RJ Barrett, for instance, and he got less. But I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad contract in context of the current cap. – 6:51 PM
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
NEW from @Anthony Chiang and me: Heat gives Herro a four year extension worth $120 M guaranteed, with another $10 M in incentives after months of discussions. He very likely cannot be traded this upcoming season, per NBA cap rules: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…6:48 PM

I’ve been saying I believe Tyler Herro will be the starting shooting guard this year for the Heat
And now officially getting this contract tag…
It’s hard for me to see him in a 6th man role again by any means – 6:39 PM

More on this storyline

Albert Nahmad: Herro at 4/$120M with incentives for $130M is ~$20M – $30M less than the max, and it avoids both a possible opt out after Y3 to 30% max and a commitment to Y5… It’s also a big number for an otherwise upcoming RFA who’s a one-way player. -via Twitter @AlbertNahmad / October 2, 2022
StatMuse: Tyler Herro last season: 20.8 PPG 46/42/87% That’s more PPG than Manu Ginobili or Jamal Crawford ever had in a season. pic.twitter.com/IIxIRBxwIk -via Twitter @statmuse / October 2, 2022
